Book Description

PowerShell replaces cobbled-together assemblies of third-party management tools with an elegant programming language and a powerful scripting shell for the Windows environment. In the tradition of Manning's ground breaking "In Action" series, this book comes from right from the source. Written by Bruce Payette, one of principal creators of PowerShell, Windows PowerShell in Action shows you how to build scripts and utilities to automate system tasks or create powerful system management tools to handle the day-to-day tasks that drive a Windows administrator's life. Because it's based on the .NET platform, PowerShell is also a powerful tool for developers and power users.

Windows PowerShell in Action was written by Bruce Payette, one of the founding members of the Windows PowerShell team, co-designer of the PowerShell language and the principal author of the PowerShell language implementation. The book enables you to get the most out of the PowerShell environment. Using many examples, both small and large, this book illustrates the features of the language and environment and shows how to compose those features into solutions, quickly and effectively.

This book is designed for anyone who wants to learn PowerShell and use it well. Rather than simply being a book of recipes to read and apply, this book gives you the deep knowledge about how PowerShell works and how to apply it.

Book Description

With the initial release of the Microsoft .NET Framework, Microsoft introduced ADO.NET, the evolution of ActiveX® Data Objects (ADO). Designed to natively support XML as well as traditional datasets, Microsoft ADO.NET offered improvements in performance and scalability. In .NET Framework 2.0, data access is enhanced not only through the addition of new data access controls, services, and the ability to integrate more seamlessly with Microsoft SQL Server™ 2005, but also through improvements to the ADO.NET class libraries themselves. Now you can teach yourself the essentials of working with ADO.NET 2.0 in the Microsoft Visual Studio® environment—one step at a time. With STEP BY STEP, you work at your own pace through hands-on, learn-by-doing exercises. Whether you're a beginning programmer or new to this version of the technology, you'll understand the core capabilities and fundamental techniques for ADO.NET 2.0. Each chapter puts you to work, showing you how, when, and why to use specific features of the ADO.NET 2.0 rapid application development environment and guiding as you create actual components and working applications for Microsoft Windows®.

Look elsewhere.......2007-06-19

I was thinking that Microsoft Press would be the best place to look for a book about ADO.NET. However, this book is terrible. There are numerous typos throughout the book, the code examples are very incomplete and refer to code samples. The code samples are poorly, no, NOT commented at all. So, the background about the code is totally missing.

It is not worth my time to continue listing the reasons NOT to buy this book. Just look somewhere else for ADO examples.

A Great Introduction to ADO.NET 2.0.......2007-04-20

My college textbook coverage of ADO.NET left me with more questions than answers, so I searched for other resources. I thought I had learned how to read the book reviews on Amazon.com and have used them as a guide for buying in the past. So when I read the review for this book, I initially gave it a pass and purchased "Programming Microsoft ADO.NET 2.0: Core Reference" by David Sceppa. The Core Reference is excellent, but after reading most of it I felt that it was a just a little over my head. What I first needed was a good introduction to ADO.NET.

So, I purchased this book, have read most of it and have worked the tutorials. It has been excellent for my needs. The writing style is clear and thorough, and now I have a much better understanding of how the various components of ADO.NET work together.

I had no trouble installing the code samples; just followed the instructions in the Introduction.

ADO.NET 2 in plain english........2007-03-15

This book is brilliant. I hadn't used VB since ODBC was the way to talk to databases. I found all the ADO.NET 2 stuff bewildering but this book explains it all really well and in plain english. It has helped me to become productive while also helping me understand what what I need to do and why. ADO seems straightforward to me now, thanks to this book. The examples on the CD all worked fine too.

Great Books.......2007-02-22

Great book! This book actually helped me understand the things I was trying to learn in class.

Good book for learning ado.net 2.0.......2006-11-05

I can't understand why there are so many negative reviews of this book. I have used the previous version of ado.net and bought this book to help learn what's new in 2.0. I found it to be very easy to understand and thorough. I didn't try to install the samples, so I don't know if there are problems installing them, but as far as the contents of the book, I have no complaints at all and would recommend it to someone moving from version 1.1 to 2.0.

Book Description

Getting data across platforms and formats is a cornerstone of present-day applications development. ADO: ActiveX Data Objects is both an introduction and a complete reference to ADO (ActiveX Data Objects), Microsoft's universal data access solution. You'll learn how to easily access data in multiple formats--such as email messages, Access databases, Word documents, and SQL databases--even on different platforms, without spending extra time learning every last detail about each format. Author Jason Roff shows by example how to use ADO with your programming language of choice to save programming time, so you can concentrate on the content and quality of your application rather than the nitty-gritty of specific data formats. ADO: ActiveX Data Objects includes: <ul><li type="disc">Chapters dedicated to the Connection, Recordset, Field, and Command objects and the Properties collection</li> <li type="disc">A complete, detailed reference listing every ADO object, method, property, and event, in convenient alphabetical order</li> <li type="disc">Chapters on ADO architecture, data shaping, the ADO Event Model</li> <li type="disc">An appendix containing enumeration tables used by ADO objects and collections, listed alphabetically</li> <li type="disc">Brief introductions to RDS, ADO.NET, and SQL</li></ul> ADO: ActiveX Data Objects is a versatile one-stop guide to both the theory and practice of programming with ADO through Version 2.6. The thorough reference section and topic-specific chapters will help you find quick answers about the details of objects, collections, methods, and properties of ADO. And the abundance of practical code examples will give you a good grasp of how to use ADO's strong points most effectively.

ASIN: 0596003617

Book Description

Written by experts on the Microsoft® .NET programming platform, ADO.NET in a Nutshell delivers everything .NET programmers will need to get a jump-start on ADO.NET technology or to sharpen their skills even further. In the tradition of O'Reilly's In a Nutshell Series, ADO.NET in a Nutshell is the most complete and concise source of ADO.NET information available. ADO.NET is the suite of data access technologies in the .NET Framework that developers use to build applications services accessing relational data and XML. Connecting to databases is a fundamental part of most applications, whether they are web, Windows®, distributed, client/server, XML Web Services, or something entirely different. But ADO.NET is substantially different from Microsoft's previous data access technologies--including the previous version of ADO--so even experienced developers need to understand the basics of the new disconnected model before they start programming with it. Current with the .NET Framework 1.1, ADO.NET in a Nutshell offers one place to look when you need help with anything related to this essential technology, including a reference to the ADO.NET namespaces and object model. In addition to being a valuable reference, this book provides a concise foundation for programming with ADO.NET and covers a variety of issues that programmers face when developing web applications or Web Services that rely on database access. Using C#, this book presents real world, practical examples that will help you put ADO.NET to work immediately. Topics covered in the book include:<ul>

An Introduction to ADO.NET</li>

Connections, Commands and DataReaders</li>

Disconnected Data</li>

Advanced DataSets</li>

Transactions</li>

DataViews and Data Binding</li>

XML and the DataSet</li></ul> Included with the book is a Visual Studio .NET add-in that integrates the entire reference directly into your help files. When combining ADO.NET in a Nutshell with other books from O'Reilly's .NET In a Nutshell series, you'll have a comprehensive, detailed and independent reference collection that will help you become more productive.
